velvet rope
When I talk about velvet rope, it is usually in reference to a whiny, ranty, kind of flying off the handle post I wrote about the MamaPop Sparklecorn party at BlogHer 2009. Though I stand by the points I made about elitism and degradation rituals I made in that post, in retrospect it's obvious that I could have made the same points with a little less charged language. On the other hand, history has also demonstrated to me that it probably would not have mattered much in the end if the wording had been different, because it has been my observation criticism in that quarter is not tolerated particularly well, regardless of how it is worded. At any rate, the velvet rope post is probably the one that sealed the deal for my long standing feud with the management of MamaPop, though I have no personal problem with the site or its writers as such.
